We’ve learned that it’s dangerous to get your hopes up about reform in Washington, D.C., but it really does seem like we may be on the cusp of finally seeing some important tax reforms.

At the heart of the bill: slicing the corporate tax rate from 35 percent to 20 percent. Democrats, who never met a tax they didn’t want to raise, pretend this is a gift for the rich. But the cuts would mean fewer firms fleeing to lower-tax nations. That could tighten the US job market and boost wages. The plan also offers savings for individual taxpayers…

The GOP should be very, very worried about what is happening in the Alabama Senate race, but there just doesn’t seem like much they can do about it.

Though Senator Al Franken’s (D-MN) own scandal may be enough to draw the fire away from Roy Moore in the weeks leading up to the Alabama special election. Could a liberal Midwestern Democrat save the normally reliable Alabama seat for the GOP?

By the way, some pundits and observers are warning that Al Franken is “just the beginning” of what could become a very ugly unveiling of Washington’s sins.

Menendez enjoyed ready access to Melgen’s private jets and luxury resorts financed by that Medicare fraud — and the New Jersey senator went all the way up the chain to the secretary of Health and Human Services to keep the money flowing.

He got visas for Melgen’s supermodel girlfriends and he tried to steer a lucrative port-security contract to the eye doctor who had no security background. Customs and Border Protection official Stephanie Talton testified that she found it “odd” Menendez would “ask us to stop our law-enforcement mission.”

Lavish gifts are sometimes used to cultivate friendships with sitting senators, it turns out, and once that friendship is cultivated, the senator is apt to do such friendly things.
